Aunt Mert,
In loving memory of your beautiful  soul, united again in eternal peace with many that you love. Though the world will undoubtedly be dimmer without your laughter and love, we celebrate the cherished memories we created together. May your spirit inspire us to carry on your legacy of kindness, joy,  feist and spunk until we all meet again 💕💕💕
Kelly, Desiree & Rob

In the early 70’s I was in the Navy and stationed in San Diego.  I met Mert and Rob through KOA camping with Mert’s good friend Jackie.  Mert treated me like family, making me feel right at home.
Mert’s up beat quick wit and infectious smile will be greatly missed by many of us who knew her!

Through humor, facts, and encouragement, Doris was a counselor who excelled in reaching kids find the "good road" to success. Her ability to motivate kids who were having trouble finding success was a model for us all.
As a friend, you kept us entertained and laughing with your stories.
We will miss you, Doris. 
Be loved, your friend and colleague,
Donna Bullock

Playing cards, sharing a meal and some treats with Grandma Mert.

Visiting Grandma Mert at her house for lunch. Always a treat 💕

We were both impressed with the beautiful home she was living at.
We did get a smile out of her that day which made us both feel good.
Love to all of you.

DiPaolo's from Edna Bay, AK send condolences to the entire family tree, and across all the miles you span from each other. God bless you all.  Please share how Doris' nickname was Mert.

So many memories what should I share? I think my favorite one was there arthritic finger!!! I did get to see it one last time when my mother and I visited her at the hospital in La Jolla. I am Don and my mother is Jackie

I have had the pleasure of knowing this fabulous woman for 61 years. She has been in my chosen family almost all my life. I always looked to her for advice (but hardly ever followed it). lol. She will be forever in my heart and I will miss her dearly. PS give my Uncle Rob a hug tell him his 3rd daughter misses him.

To:  Cindy, Paula and your wonderful families. We will miss your beautiful, funny and caring mother our neighbor and friend. Mert and Rob were the 1st ones to welcome us to Mt. Acmar Court when we moved into our house in 1976. They watched our children and grandchildren grow up and were always there for all of us. We are happy that she is in a better place but sad that she is gone. We are keeping you all in our prayers and thoughts. Please know that we are always here for you. 
Greg and Barb Vechinski and family

Ms Robison was my school counselor at Twain (class of 86) and I have such fond memories of her. She was always so kind and I loved that beautiful smile. Prayers to her family and friends. So sorry for your loss.

Grandma,  you were such a dear friend. I cherish all the phone calls, college break visits, dinners out, and every hug and laugh we shared together. I miss you more than words. You are irreplaceable. Often I still wish I could call you and talk for an hour like we used to, and then debate at the end for 5 minutes about who loves the other more, and you would always win by saying “love you INFINITY.”  I’ll miss Yahtzee, sunset chases, wheel of fortune nights, your mentos,  and how you used to fix your lipstick with a knife. I’ll miss your special “sayings,” and I will even miss how you would yell my nickname across a public store, leaving me red with embarrassment haha. But now I wish I could hear your voice again. But I know you are with Jesus, and joyfully in the presence of your Savior. We will all miss you every day, but you have left an unforgettable legacy, and I can’t thank you enough for all your sacrifices that helped to make all our dreams come true. I don’t know where I’d be without you. « Love you to pieces »  Grandma!

You were always such a caring person. I remember going into your office often in high school when I needed help or someone to talk to, you always had an open door. Thank you for being the best you could always be. May you rest in peace.
